According to the FAO, climate change is affecting aquaculture in multiple ways:
  • Increasing sea surface temperatures leading to changes in the distribution and abundance of aquaculture species.
  • Acidification of seawater affecting shellfish aquaculture by hindering shell formation.
  • Extreme weather events causing infrastructure damage and loss of stocks.
  • Rising sea levels leading to coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion into freshwater aquaculture areas.
The biggest disruptor in aquaculture, as stated by the FAO, is the unpredictable and extreme weather patterns associated with climate change. These events can have detrimental effects on aquaculture production systems and infrastructure, making it challenging for farmers to sustain their operations.
